The only answer I have for that is: Who cares?

+1 So long as it has a sustainable user-base, why bother asking. These
questions just result in long pointless threads with lots of arrogant
conjecture.

Who knows why anything is popular or catches the 'meme' of the moment?
That is just like asking why some entirely proprietary IT companies
[Apple, Google, etc...] are treated warmly while other equally
proprietary companies [Microsoft] are vilified? It is just the fevers
of the mob; don't spend too much time thinking about it. Time is
better spent writing code!
